Ordering new bins or need new collection services?

Select Environmental Services can provide a low-cost alternative to skip hire with Junk Collectors, is a service where a two-man team is provided to lift, load and recycle all of your waste. To book this service, download and fill in the waste clearance request form, and return to oxford@selectenviro.co.uk.

Variable collections efficiencies

Select Environmental Services can flex the frequencies and number of containers they can collect for you, to accommodate varying waste volumes you may have. We recommend regularly reviewing your collection arrangements to save costs and avoid unnecessary journeys. For example, changes in occupancy such as the end of term may mean you need fewer collections, or you may be able to store larger containers to reduce collections. Select Environmental Services are currently working through a programme of reviewing waste collection arrangements for different buildings to see what efficiency opportunities exist. For guidance on this please speak to your Select Environmental Services technical manager via oxford@selectenviro.co.uk, or +44 (0)118 975 9000. 

Guidance on how to recycle a wide variety of materials and products is available on the Sustainability website.

You have a legal responsibility (duty of care) to ensure that you produce, store, transport and dispose of your business waste without harming the environment.

You are specifically responsible for your waste from when you produce it until you have transferred it to an authorised person (a person or organisation registered with the Environment Agency who is permitted to collect or carry waste). However, your duty of care extends along the entire chain of management of your waste and has no time limit. This means you must dispose of waste items in the correct bin, to avoid contaminating the entire collection, and if you are disposing of irregular items you must detail them on the collection form so that the correct disposal route can be identified and used.

Select Environmental Services provide annual waste transfer notes and issue these to the appropriate person. These should be held for at least two years for audit and compliance purposes.

The FM Contracts team, in conjunction with the Estates Services Compliance team, carry out regular audits at waste processing facilities to ensure that the University’s waste material is being dealt with in a compliant manner. Read about our most recent anaerobic digestion plant audit.
